Claim 2

I’m talking about claim 1

Hope you get help with your reading comprehension problems.

Yes it is.

“This is an unprecedented move in Western democracies to block specific Internet sites—and is a worrying progression that they are flirting with the idea of censoring the Internet as a means of crowd control,” Proton VPN’s spokesperson told me.

It’s really not. For example the UK has blocked rt.com for years now, and many other sites.

Why do people on the internet think you don’t have to shave if you have a beard? You’re just shaving less area.

Cover Your Ass. i.e. avoiding trouble from the Washington regime

Can you talk like a normal person please

Yes, services on i2p, tor and freenet

No, the government is huge, and most parts of it really don’t care about your data. They’re busy buildings roads, sewers and doing fundamental research. It’s really people vs the national security state.

It sounds like Ukraine is finding some nasty surprises on the battlefield.

They should build them out of bread and cake, in case it’s all they have left to eat in the coming years.

Well he’s the fucking lord of death for NATO recently so I guess he would know about death wishes.

What a bunch of removed clowns

Deceptive social media accounts by Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-affiliated actors have started to pose contentious questions on controversial U.S. domestic issues to better understand the key issues that divide U.S. voters. This could be to gather intelligence and precision on key voting demographics ahead of the U.S. presidential election.

People put questions in posts to elicit replies to increase engagement metrics so the post is shown to more people, not to “gather intelligence and precision on key voting demographics ahead of the U.S. presidential election.”

Whole article reads like some AI fantasy

He’s outraged that it’s public and he has to talk about it.

In his day you could slaughter thousands and there was nobody to record it.

What a joke. The Guardian was captured by the establishment after Snowden and now just reprints security state PR notices.

So… time to negotiate a peace?

Oh no sorry, the nazi masters in Washington demand that the slaughter and chaos continue.

Man just when audio in Linux got decently stable and functional, now we have to switch to some new shit. I run Ubuntu 23.10 that has pipewire and mostly it works but then sometimes it starts crackling, audio turns on and off, skipping, or random muting.

I’m getting so fucking fed up with these stupid Linux desktop pre-alpha software that take a decade to stabilize and by then we’re off to the brand new thing that barely functions.

Today Ukraine, tomorrow Washington

Military age male = terrorist

Better grab some popcorn, the next few decades are going to be wild as western imperialism comes to an end.

Yeah man, Putler will be defeated any moment now. Just gotta send a few more billion to Lockheed and send a few more Ukrainian men to the slaughter.

Totally not controlled by the US State Department. They just HAPPEN to attack Russia and China and ignore Israel. Totally incidental.

Taiwan cannot fight China alone.

To these chuds everything is always about fighting.

I wonder if this “Michael Danielsen” is volunteering? Or is he going to watch from his European “garden” while those in the “jungle” fight the conflicts he stokes?

US foreign policy establishment blindly intent on beating Russia on the battlefield and crushing its economy. Neither will happen

Nah, the US starts war to hurt competing economies and prevent alliances from forming.

The war might be lost but the mission has been accomplished: Europe is fucked economically for now and a generation of Europeans will grow up hating Russia making it unviable to have close relations.

Humans are just electrified meat. Stop anthropomorphizing it.

What the fuck are you smoking dude, X11 is used all over the place

and we should minimize the amount of damage shitty clients can do.

Can’t have global shortcuts or share my screen but at least my system is secure from these non-existent threats snort

Why don’t I just smash my computer with a sledgehammer for the ultimate protection from flatpak malware.

Do you think every single app should have permissions to screen record without you knowing, to keylog without you knowing?

Can you point me to a single notable breach that happened because of this?

Classical security thinking is that if you have a compromised app running, it’s all over anyway, and it’s time to wipe and reinstall. Luckily, this isn’t a problem on Linux because packages are vetted by distributions maintainers… unless…

Unless the new plan is to transition from that to flatpak proprietary stores packaged by unknown developers, giving us trashware app stores like on Android and Windows.

Sure, if you expect to run proprietary malware on Linux then some protection might be useful. But then you’re just running a shitty version of Windows, and not getting the historical cultural benefits of Linux anyway. Might as well run Windows.

Probably never. X11 just works better. Wayland has bad design and bad implementations.

Well he’s right, nobody cared about Iraqis, Afgans, Syrians, Libyans, Vietnamese, Cambodians,… we’ve slaughtered tens of millions with no problems, so what’s different now?

Congratulations, liberals. Once again you successfully sowed death and destruction.

Disgusting

As any liberal knows, completely arbitrary law enforcement is the basic building block of a functioning democracy.

Indeed. Until they a bit too popular and then miraculously a sinister connection to the CCP will appear out of nowhere.

It’s dead everywhere else because they can’t use Google Play Services.

Anyway, I don’t think the goal of US actions is ever to stop or kill anything completely. After all there’s money to be made in the “problem” coming back again and again.

I think this is an important point people who mock the US don’t get.

They didn’t include the phrase in a report == they’re gonna invade?

I guess, if you’re a braindead natocucked reporter.

Although it is not the first time that China had omitted the word “peaceful”, the change in language is closely watched as a possible sign of more assertive stance towards Taiwan.

lol

Everything has something to do with security if you’re paranoid/creative enough. It’s a useless thought.

It does. RSS is the way IMO.

I use FreshRSS and the chromium RSS subscription extension. I just go to a user’s youtube page and click the extension icon and it subscribes me.

After trying NixOS in a VM a couple times, this constant tweaking ended up in the system breaking both times to the point where it was impossible to edit the .nix config file without chroot (and a lot of GRUB entries, a rather bit messy if you ask me).

I don’t get it, doesn’t NixOS let you go to a previous configuration in the boot menu?

To make a reliable Linux desktop, I see almost no other solution than Atomicity that doesn’t require extensive Linux experience.

You have a very skewed perspective coming from your constantly broken Arch install.

You don’t need immutability and containers to have a reliable Linux install. My Ubuntu installs are extremely reliable, both on desktops and servers.

I have to say though that I ran Arch for a few years and it only broke once or twice. This is either astroturfing or PEBCAK.

It does because energy is very expensive in the UK.

315k GBP for a 2br ‘period property’ (aka a disgusting dilapidated horder house with the energy efficiency of a tent)

Figure in another 100k and a year to fix it, due to how UK contractors work.

There’s more expiring guns to be given away yet, and more Ukrainian property to be bought at the firesale*
